See the pretty girl in that mirror there? Who can that attractive girl be? Such a pretty face Such a pretty dress Such a pretty smile Such a pretty me!
"I Feel Pretty," Stephen Sondheim, from West (snap) Side (snap) Story
Never gonna think That the man I lose Is the only man among men I'll snap my fingers To show I don't care I'll buy me a brand new Dress to wear I'll scrub my neck And I'll brush my hair And start all over again.

Baby take off your coat
Real slow
Take off your shoes
I'll take off your shoes
Baby take off your dress

See the pretty girl in that mirror there?
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face
Such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me!

Then I stepped into
a satin dancin' dress
that had a split on the side
clean up to my knee...

(But not a real green dress--that's cruel)

In my cotton lisle stockings

Never gonna think
That the man I lose
Is the only man among men
I'll snap my fingers
To show I don't care
I'll buy me a brand new
Dress to wear
I'll scrub my neck
And I'll brush my hair
And start all over again.
-"Many a New Day" from "Oklahoma!"
Put on that dress.
I'm going out dancing.
